ZEROPOINTONE Megane mk2- Clio mk3 Carbon Edition Shifter
Introduction
This shifter is designed primarily for track use. We recommend that you occasionally lubricate moving parts with spray grease (Dry lubricant with PTFE will prevent the shifter looking oily). A wet cloth can be used to clean the anodised aluminium, then dried with a lint free cloth. The anodised base can have car wax applied for additional resitance to dirt.
Removal of OEM shifter
We recommend disconnecting the car’s battery before beginnging removal of
components.
Removal of exhaust and heat shield – You will need to remove the heatshield
directly underneath the current shifter. This is often made easier by removing
the centre section of the exhaust or by removing one of the exhaust clamps so
that you gain better access by letting the exhaust hang. Be careful not to put
too much stress on the flexi pipe.
Remove centre console – Including the OEM gear shifter gear knob and gator.
Remove OEM shifter bolts – This will allow the unit to be removed from the
bottom of the vehicle.
Remove the bottom plate of the OEM shifter to allow access to the cables.
These are released from the unit by unclipping 2 x horse shoe clips. They can
then be uncoupled from the ball studs and removed from the unit.
Fitting of Zero Point One shifter to the vehicle
We recommend adding a double side foam tape or RTV sealant to the top of the
base to create a gas tight fit when installing.
The yellow line shown on the base of the ZPO shifter is a guideline of where
the foam/sealant should be placed.
Insert the shifter from the bottom of the vehicle into the tunnel allowing the
4 base bolts to line up with the holes in the tunnel. Then from inside the
vehicle fasten with the 4 nuts provided. Do not put the base plate onto the
base until the nuts are fully tightened, you may need to use a hex/torx tool
to hold the 4 bolts while nuts are tightened up.
Cables
Connect the cables by feeding them through the corresponding hole, pushing the cable ends onto the ball studs, then attach the horse shoe shaped clips to retain the cables to the base.
Adjusting the grub screws to allow all gears to be engaged
Using the gear lever, shift the gearbox into 1st and 2nd. You may need to
screw the (green arrow) grub screw out to achieve this.
Then repeat the same steps with gears 5 and 6, screwing out the (yellow arrow)
grub screw until they can be selected cleanly.
Now actuate the reverse pin by pulling the reverse plunger near the gearknob,
this will allow you to move the gear stick over enough to select reverse.
Screw in the grub screw (blue arrow) until it can be selected correctly.
Note – The above picture is of a megane shifter, the Clio shifter has the 2x grub screws on the right . Same rules above apply to setting it up.
Final Steps
Bolt the cover plate on the base from underneath the vehicle. When tape is
applied to the plate, remove the plastic to reveal the adhesive. Use minimal
torque on the bolts and apply loctite to prevent torque loss over time.
Reinstall the heat shields, exhaust, undershields, battery tray, air filter
and reconnect battery.
Check that all moving parts on the shifter are lubricated and check that all
gears can be engaged before setting off. Small test drives are advised, with
re-adjustments made when necessary. Please contact us for any further
information, we are always happy to help!
